Chapter 19 Discussing the Dao with Beidi



On the Beidi Mirror, the light slowly dispersed and returned to its original appearance. The young Taoist breathed a sigh of relief. He finally dealt with Yun Qin. Otherwise, it would take a lot of effort to explain the cause of the injury. He slightly opened his five fingers, and circulated his innate Qi, trying to get closer to the ancestral Qi.

Practicing "Yuanshi Zuqi" is a long process.

Just as Tian Peng said, the young Taoist is just at the entry level now.

Most of the Twelve Saints were at a higher level than this, or at the stage of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, or even at the level of True Lord. On the contrary, they found this method much easier than others. Strictly speaking, this is not a cultivation scripture at all, but a text on Qi by Yuanshi Tianzun.

The young Taoist priest felt at peace as he watched the stars gradually rise in the sky.

"It's night time. Take a rest for a night. After some time, you can go back."

"After preaching once, refining the elixir, and returning the status of the earth god to the creatures in the mountains, it's time to go to Jinzhou."

Above the sky, the light in the mirror in front of the young girl Yunqin disappeared, and then she held her chin with one hand: "Wuhuo's foundation is injured."

"Strange, has he fought with anyone recently?"

Yunqin pondered for a while, then put the mirror away. Suddenly, she carefully drove the magic weapon away from here and flew away. However, she did not notice that at this moment in the Niu Su Palace, a very beautiful woman with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, hair hanging down at the temples, and tied with a silver crown, raised her eyes and said: "The foundation is damaged, it is in ruins, and the life span has been reduced by three hundred years. What did you do?"

"But, that's all."

"He's going to die soon anyway, but there's no need to stop him, so I don't have to be the bad guy."

The maids around are all equipped with swords.

That person was none other than the Weaver Girl.

The granddaughter of Beidi, the star god who had the title of Beidi's son in the previous generation.

At the age of sixteen, she could weave cloud brocade into clouds. The concepts of morning glow and evening glow were the magic weapon she wove. However, the magic weapon itself was in the hands of the Weaver Girl. Later, she was banished to the mortal world and started practicing again. She once resolved a great catastrophe and re-proven the title of the Star God with ten times the merit.

Strictly speaking.

The Weaver Girl is the god of war.

There is no one in the Northern Emperor's bloodline who is not good at killing and fighting.

The Northern Emperor was formed from the essence of heaven and earth, and his origins are no less than those of the Three Pure Ones.

There was once a Dou Mu Yuanjun who called herself the Mother of Stars. In the second calamity era, she was killed by the Northern Emperor and her soul was destroyed.

Even the priesthood and foundation became the basis for Beidi to create the Dou Department.

His ferocity and tyranny in his youth were evident, and now, only three eons have passed, and he has gradually cultivated his character and is no longer prone to murderous intent. However, the fighting nature hidden in his blood has never been a problem, until this generation, when Yunqin appeared, who just wanted to lie down and watch the clouds floating by every day.

All we can say is that it was a mistake for the couple to leave their daughter to be raised by an old workhorse when they were fighting in the war.

How could this little guy, who has been held by the old ox to play finger-guessing games with the Four Heavenly Kings since he was little, have the murderous nature of the Northern Emperor?

But the Vega is different, its spirit is powerful.

Everything that happened in Niu Su was under her control. When her daughter left quietly, her mind went there naturally. She was quite happy to see the appearance of the young Taoist and the girl who had learned the magical powers she had in her past. However, she could see at a glance that the two young people did not feel that they were anything more than friends.

He was relieved, and said calmly: "So, what is the identity of this young man?"

Niu Su Xingjun was about to answer, but for some reason, he couldn't say it. If he thought about it carefully, he couldn't even remember the boy's Taoist name and his origin. He couldn't add any other thoughts to his answer, but his soul instinctively held great kindness, and in the end he could only smile bitterly:

"He is a human who came here by chance along the Milky Way. He is a good kid, but he is a bit gluttonous."

"Qin'er doesn't have any friends her own age, so she plays better."

The Vega said, "It's alright."

"She has a natural state of mind, and everything doesn't stagnate in her mind, so it doesn't matter."

Yun Qin controlled the magic weapon and went straight to find a heavenly doctor she knew. She had planned to exchange the things she had been rewarded with every year over the years for some elixirs to supplement the young Taoist's foundation. The girl had played around with Uncle Niu since she was a child and knew many gods, swordsmanship, escape techniques, celestial dances, medical skills, and all kinds of methods. She had learned a lot, but she was not very proficient in any of them.

I could recognize the fundamental problem of the young Taoist, but I had no idea how to solve it.

After the heavenly doctor asked her to describe the symptoms of the qi movement, the expression on her face changed from nonchalant to astonished. Finally, she waved her hands repeatedly and turned to leave. The girl grabbed her sleeve and said with wide eyes: "Hey? ! ! Senior, what elixir have you not yet convinced me to prescribe?"

The doctor replied that day: "Give him something delicious to eat, drink and sleep well."

"Eat whatever you want and play whatever you want."

"That's it."

The girl suddenly realized, "Ah, so once you feel better, your injuries will heal naturally?"

The Heavenly Doctor said unhappily, "Of course it's a fundamental problem like this, even a god can't help."

"Unless you go to Xuandu Temple and seek the Great Emperor of Lingguan, Miaole Tianzun, to ask for an elixir; or go to Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun to ask for nectar. Otherwise, this foundation, wait for death. We are the Heavenly Hospital, not Xuandu Temple. We are responsible for repairing the soul. We are powerless to repair such a big foundation damage. There is nothing we can do."

"Yunqin, please ask for help from someone else."

"Go ask that old ox. Maybe he can find an elixir in the Heavenly Palace to replenish his foundation."

Yunqin went to look for some more people, but when she heard the extent of the damage to their foundation, she knew that someone must have encountered something.

Could it be that he, with a mortal body, was able to wield the power of a Heavenly Emperor?

It was strange that he didn't die on the spot.

Just the fact that the foundation has been shattered by the impact of this energy is already a great mercy.

So the girl searched along the way, and all the immortals seemed to shake their heads again and again. Even the three Fu, Lu and Shou, who welcomed her most to eat, shook their heads helplessly and said that they couldn't handle this matter. The three of us are just star officials, it's just that what we are in charge of is more special and our status is more extraordinary. Your parents are the star gods of the Twenty-Eight Mansions and their status is higher than ours.

Besides, everyone has their own expertise. If Tian Hospital just turns around and leaves, there's nothing we three can do.

This severe damage to the foundation and the reduction of lifespan are not something that can be solved by longevity peaches.

But Yunqin searched for a long time, but in the end, she didn't know why, she couldn't find the old ox, so she went back home, feeling upset. She felt that her friend's situation was more difficult than she had expected. She was thinking about it, but her heart of Tao was not tainted by worldly things.

But I fell asleep unknowingly.

In the dream, Wuhuo took out a lot of delicious food.

I was so happy eating.

Not stained by dust.

Suddenly, I heard a gentle and peaceful voice in my dream.

"As expected of you, your mind is so clear that I can even sleep well this time."

The girl opened her eyes dazedly and found herself lying on the table. She saw a gentle person in front of her. Her eyebrows were very soft and there was a smile on the corners of her mouth. Her facial features were not pretty or handsome, but just gentle. She seemed to have no aggressiveness at all. It was hard to tell whether she was a man or a woman. She was looking at her with a smile.

The girl recognized the person and quickly stood up. She subconsciously wiped the corners of her mouth and then greeted him respectfully:

"I have seen the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara."

"Why are you here?"

"I?"

Guanyin is a very enlightened and compassionate person in Buddhism. He does not believe that the current Buddha lineage can be sought from the Bodhi tree, but should be seen in the mortal world. Therefore, he named Guanyin and spread compassion. He is in the Purple Bamboo Forest of Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea. He was originally invited by the Weaver Girl Star God to solve the confusion in his daughter's heart. He never said so, but just smiled and said:

"I came here by chance, and chatted with the Fairy Lady Cihang, who also had an appointment with several fellow Taoists."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came to see you. You seem to be confused, so I came here to talk to you..."

When Yunqin was young, she was taken around by an old ox to get free food and drinks.

I have also been to the purple bamboo forest.

There was once a young iron-eating beast raised there.

He was beaten to the ground by the young Yunqin and had his bamboo shoots snatched away by the iron-eating beast. The iron-eating beast cried loudly, and the little girl also cried loudly, which made the old yellow ox and Guanyin both laugh and cry. It can only be said that apart from the conflict with the Medicine Buddha who was determined to convert the old bull demon, the old yellow ox had a good relationship with many beings in Buddhism.

After all, he was the elder who had held her in her arms when she was young, so the girl told him everything that had happened.

Guanyin asked, "Yunqin wants to help him?"

"Yeah, it's a good friend who has a problem."

Guanyin thought for a moment and asked, "But to what extent are you going to help him? Yunqin, this is just one calamity. If he runs into many problems in the future, will you still be able to help him? His foundation is broken today, and his cultivation is shallow in the future. If he runs into a huge disaster or even a fatal disaster in the future, I only ask you one question, to what extent are you going to help him?"

The girl was stunned. She would never think of this.

Guanyin said: "You are an innate being, the blood of the Northern Emperor, not a person who was transformed from two into three. When you were born, your foundation realm is equivalent to that of a human immortal with three flowers gathered at the top of the head. It's just that cultivation cannot come out of thin air. You still need to learn step by step. But your life span starts at three thousand years. When you have reached a certain level of cultivation, you can immediately transform it into strength and means."

"He is a human being. If he obtains all three elements, his life span is 120 years. If he obtains the innate Qi, his life span is more than 200 years."

"If you refine your Qi to its purest form, you can obtain five hundred years. When the three flowers gather at the top of your head, you will become an immortal, but your life span will only be a thousand years."

"Today I help you in times of trouble, and tomorrow I help you. This will never end. It's like being tied up by a rope. This is called entering a troubled time. But it doesn't mean you can let go. Why not forget about it with a clear conscience? I can teach you a method that will allow you to find his reincarnation. We will meet again one day."

Yunqin asked: "After reincarnation, is it a person?"

Guanyin said gently: "If the heart of Taoism does not change, and the true spirit does not change, then that is one person."

"The Supreme Taoist once gave me some advice, so I know that the sound of Guanshi should not be lost in it."

“All living things have their own karmic relationship.”

“Yunqin, when you are in a relationship with him, you should be sincere and true to yourself, without any concealment or reservation. However, you should not let this sincerity and true nature restrain you. Love everything in the world, be impartial and forget about love, and then no disasters will befall you.” He taught this method to the girl. Yunqin seemed to be thinking about something, her mind was relaxed, and her state of mind was clear. Then she nodded vigorously and said, “I understand.”

"Thank you, Master!"

"Well, that's good."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, whose face was gentle and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman, looked at the girl. He had telepathy and knew that she had truly let go.

No more confusion.

So I smiled and sent her away.

There was a monk on the left beside her who asked, "Great Master, why did you show up in person to persuade her? Are you worried that she will fall into the eight difficulties?"

Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara shook his head and said, "Eight difficulties? Her mind is clear, how could she be restrained by the eight difficulties?"

"But love between a man and a woman?"

"At a young age, your heart is pure and free of desires, but the relationship between men and women is not the same."

"That is..."

"But although she doesn't let anything stagnate in her heart, such a person is still hard to deal with external disasters. She will always meet people who are entangled in disasters, and then she will be implicated in them. It's like walking in a thorn bush. The whole body will be pricked with pain when she moves. I am just trying to persuade her. I have already told her the principle of forgetting emotions."

"That girl is so lucky. The Vega Star Lord is of the Northern Emperor's bloodline and is very fond of killing. The Ox Star Lord is a warrior. All the heroic people in the world are like clouds and bulls. Among the twenty-eight constellations, he is the second best at fighting. How could their daughter be such a carefree child?"

"Is it a blessing?"

Guanyin sighed and said, "It's a disaster, not a blessing. You don't know her background. She was born when her parents were banished to the mortal world. However, due to her parents' identities, she encountered disasters and almost died at a young age. She was sealed in the Nine Heavens Mysterious Ice. After they became immortal, the child was relieved. She has an immortal body and soul, but she was born with a human heart."

“Hopefully it will be stable.”

Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara left on auspicious clouds.

The place where Beidi Ziwei resides is Ziweiyuan. The Taoist Canon once said that Ziwei Beiji Yuxu Great Emperor governs all the stars above, controls all things in the middle, and governs Fengdu below. He is the master of all the stars in the sky. Beiji Exorcism Court is under his control. The places where he is are not accessible to ordinary immortals, and there are star officials on duty.

But today, the official on duty saw a ray of light moving, and then the light converged, and a girl with tied hair fell down.

Gong Cao was surprised and said with a smile: "It turns out that Yunqin came here. It's rare to see you."

There are not many descendants of Beidi, but there are some. Most of them are eager to get benefits from Beidi and come here quite frequently. However, the girl in front of him is casual in nature and seldom comes here. Although she is from the Beidi lineage, she does not practice Beidi's law, but goes to practice Shangqing law. Those who often come here may not have any impression of her, but she who has not come for many years remembers her clearly.

The girl said, "I would like to ask to see the Northern Emperor."

"Oh? It's a rare opportunity for you to come here. I will go and ask the Emperor for you."

After a while, the Purple Palace of the Northern Emperor opened, and the girl restrained her temper and went in obediently to pay her respects.

The Northern Emperor did not reveal his true form.

The Purple Palace was extremely spacious and lofty, with only a desolate voice asking faintly, "What do you want?"

The girl was very well-behaved, but what she said made the star officials beside her twitch their eyes.

"Yun Qin came here to seek the 'Ziwei Emperor Qi True Scripture'."

Beidi was not angry, but just asked calmly: "Why?"

So the girl had to explain many things, and finally said that she thought that if the foundation pills could not make up for it, then she only needed to practice to make up for it. When she was young, she had heard of this volume of exercises, so she came to ask about it. Beidi's mind moved, and he knew everything. He lowered his eyes and said, "Guanyin seemed to have said something to you."

"Don't you understand?"

The girl was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said quickly and quietly: "I acted."

"What?!"

"I was acting. The teacher always tested me, so I just nodded, collected my spirit, and acted innocent. But I understood."

"The teacher thought I really understood it."

The girl blushed slightly, and seemed embarrassed to be told that she was lazy.

So the four guards couldn't help but laugh out loud, but they realized that this was the Northern Emperor, so they held it back. The Northern Emperor didn't seem surprised, and just said calmly: "What's the confusion?"

“There are a lot of them, but I don’t understand much.”

"What the Bodhisattva said is too profound."

With a puff, the officer on duty finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

He was hit by the elbow of the duty officer and finally he tried to hold back his laughter.

Indeed, this "good name" of the lazy fairy spread throughout the heavens and she really lived up to her name.

Yunqin thought for a moment and replied, "Avalokitesvara is trying to persuade me not to help, but I don't understand why you seem so afraid." Beidi said calmly, "Because making friends is a matter of cause and effect. Even if you have been cultivating for a thousand years, as long as a good friend of yours encounters a disaster, you will also be in trouble."

"If he dies, will you take revenge?"

"If he asks you for help, will you help?"

"If you help, you will be doomed. If you don't help, he will die. Will you regret it?"

"During the Third Tribulation Era, many immortals and gods died because of this."

The starlight in the void is like strands of silk, flowing and changing.

Beidi said: "Therefore, I ask the Supreme to forget about love."

The girl asked in confusion, "So, close friends are not as important as possible dangers?"

"A friend who benefits me is my friend, but a friend who may bring disaster to me is not my friend?"

"Seek benefits and avoid harm, so as to avoid disasters."

"Does it seem selfish of me to ask for help from me in my cultivation?"

The smile on duty froze.

Um??

Um?!!!

Beidi rarely spoke up to explain again, his tone was calm:

“No, like all things caused by cause and effect, the end is already visible, so it’s better not to start.”

“So Bodhisattvas are not involved in cause and effect.”

The girl thought about it and asked doubtfully, "So, it's fear?"

"Since there is a fearful heart, then when we cultivate the Way and cultivate ourselves, are we cultivating a fearful and terrified heart?"

"If one is greedy for life and afraid of death, does that make him an immortal?"

"Seeking immortality, is that asking for immortality? Then why not just turn into stone?"

The expression of the officer on duty changed, as if he had heard some thought-provoking question and was vaguely confused.

Beidi's voice seemed to carry a hint of laughter, but his tone was still calm. He said:

"You little idiot, how ridiculous."

"You ask this and that, and I ask you too, what should I do?"

The girl thought for a moment and replied in a reluctant and elegant tone:

"Don't avoid it when it comes, and don't ignore the cause and effect."

After a pause, he said directly: "Can't we just solve the problem when it comes?"

“What if it can’t be solved?”

"What if you die?"

The girl thought for a moment and replied, "Then it depends on whether it is more important for the person to live or for the heart to live."

"Practice the Tao, seek me, even if the body dies, I will not change, this is seeking the Tao."

“Though the body is alive, [I] am dead. This is not the way. I am just seeking to live.”

The expressions of the immortal officials and star officials in the Beidi Palace suddenly changed.

The Four Guardians and the God of Life of the Big Dipper were all moved.

"Oh? These are your reasons, seeking the Dharma for others?"

The girl knelt down obediently in front and answered:

"No, it's for me."

"It's because I don't want to see my friend die. If Wuhuo is in danger and I do nothing, I feel like I won't be myself anymore. Avoiding cause and effect makes me different from myself. Seeking immortality makes me different from myself. Then, Beidi, I don't know, will I be the one who is cultivated in the end, or will I be the body of immortality?"

"I don't understand Tai Shang Wang Qing. Maybe I'm just stupid."

"So, if I feel uncomfortable in my heart, I have to resolve my discomfort. If my mind is complicated, I should cut off the complexity. Because my friend's affairs make me worried, I have to resolve such worries and problems. Only in this way can I continue to watch the clouds and rain happily. Isn't this what the Bodhisattva told me?"

After a long time, Beidi said: "I can give you the "Ziwei Emperor Qi True Scripture"."

"It can be spread outside."

"but……"

Beidi raised his hand, and a sword swirled down in front of her. It was sharp and cold, and Beidi's voice was flat and indifferent: "Although you are my heir, you have no merit. I will let you go now. You must practice with a sword. Come here every day. If you can defeat ten [Putian Xingdou, Hehan Qunzhen] of the same realm, I will give it to you."

"rest assured."

"To die here is only painful, but the soul will be fine."

The annual official's face changed.

The Beidi lineage is strict, which means that if the girl fights here, she will really feel the pain of life and death. The eight big characters "all the stars in the sky, the Milky Way and the stars" represent the seven stars of the Big Dipper, the left assistant and the right assistant, the three stars, the six officials of the Southern Dipper, the three stars of the Central Dipper, all the way to the Tiangang and Disha, and all the twenty-eight stars.

He was about to stand up and persuade the Northern Emperor to take back his decision, but the girl had already picked up the sword, and her five fingers were holding the sword. When she raised the sword, there was no hesitation at all, so the sword that was originally used to test one's heart of Tao was already in her palm. The sword body was whistling, and the Big Dipper was moving and changing on it, with a sharp edge.

Gongcao was at a standstill.

She mentioned the sword?

Doesn't she know what fear is?

"Thank you, Beidi."

The girl raised her hand and her black hair was tied into a high ponytail.

Instead of staying there confused, worrying about this and that, or just waiting to see what happens, for her, knowing what is the right thing to do and what to do, all she has to do is do it. So everyone who knows her knows that she always acts according to her own heart, and it has always been like this.

If there is a problem, you have to solve it. Only when it is solved can you be happy.

Aren't you begging me?

If there is a disaster, can't you just cut it off with a sword?

It is not about calculating the way of heaven, nor is it about predicting the way of heaven. The way is not that only I exist. The way follows my heart.

No doubt, no doubt, the snacks are delicious, hehe.

Just wait patiently for this fairy to bring you better skills and heal your wounds.

"Shangqing Yunqin, please."
